For Today, October 25, 2011...

Outside my window...the sun is out and it's warmer than it's been the past few days.  It's also more humid, which means I can't have the windows open.  Bummer.

I am thinking...of this new hurricane that just appeared and is headed towards Cancun Mexico.  Here we are, almost at the end of hurricane season, and it looks like this one is headed our way!  We're gonna have to keep an eye on it.

I am thankful...for the technology that tracks hurricanes.  Just think if we didn't know the storms were coming and didn't have time to prepare!  The men and women working at the hurricane center do a great service for us.

I am going...to be cleaning bathrooms this morning.  My very least favorite chore. :P

I am wearing...a white shirt with black and purple paisley print, jean capris and flip-flops.  It's 76 degrees out this morning.

I am noticing...how the changes in weather affect me.  I have a sore throat and my voice is almost gone.

I am hoping...hurricane Rina skirts between Florida and Cuba and doesn't touch land.  At.  All.

I am pondering these words..."Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving." - Colossians 3:23-24.

I am praying...for a family that lost a son in a 4-wheeler accident.  A tenth grader.  I can't begin to imagine the pain they're suffering.

From the learning rooms...E got an "AAA" on his history project (Yay!) and we began the actual experiment for his science project yesterday.  There are 7 petri dishes on the dining room window sill, with lentil beans in each.  The first has raw beans, the rest have beans cooked at different intervals.  Let's see which ones grow.

From the kitchen...I haven't decided yet.  Chicken, I think.  I'm just not feeling well today.

I am reading...my Bible, and nothing else.  I hate when I don't feel well.  Even the energy to read is gone.

On my mind...sore throats and hurricanes.  I need something cheerful to replace these worrisome thoughts.

Around the house...I gave the kitchen a good scrubbing yesterday.  Then I cooked.  Kitchens don't stay clean for very long :P.  Today it's bathrooms.  Same story.

One of my favorite things...a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning.
